Field margins as ecological corridors: Uncovering connectivity in agricultural landscapes using high‐resolution tracking data and translocation experiments

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates that field margins can play a major role in maintaining connectivity and enhancing ecological corridor functionality in intensive agricultural landscapes, even for habitat generalist species like the bulbul. The use of high‐resolution movement data enabled fine‐scale habitat analysis, revealing the key role of these vegetative ...

Vehicular Inter-Networking via Named Data

, 2013
In this paper we apply the Named Data Networking, a newly proposed Internet architecture, to networking vehicles on the run. Our initial design, dubbed V-NDN, illustrates NDN's promising potential in providing a unifying architecture that enables ...

TERRITORIALIZING POWER: The Politics of Presidential Projects in Antananarivo, Madagascar

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale infrastructure projects have become a defining feature of African urbanism. The study of the surge in infrastructure investments has largely been conducted against the backdrop of a purported ‘neoliberal global modernity’ in which cities compete to attract international investments.

Local Growth Hormone Facilitates Aging of the Colon Epithelial Microenvironment

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Local growth hormone (GH) is expressed and secreted by senescent cells in the aging human colon. GH triggers epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition and activates colon cell motility by regulating extracellular matrix proteins, inducing cytoskeleton rearrangement and altering cell motility protein phosphorylation.

Distributed Service Discovery for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks [PDF]

, 2006
Service discovery in heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks is a challenging research objective, due to the inherent limitations of sensor nodes and their extensive and dense deployment. The protocols proposed for ad hoc networks are too heavy for sensor

How do firms use their dynamic capabilities in strategic factor markets? The role of resource rarity

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the use of dynamic capabilities in evolving strategic factor markets (SFMs), with an emphasis on the role of resource rarity. We investigate how the three dimensions of dynamic capabilities—sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring—interact with resource rarity to influence the economic value of resource acquisition.

Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2007
Wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), due to their dynamic nature and due to the unreliability of the wireless medium, pose unique challenges that are significantly more complex than those that arise in traditional wired or even cellular wireless ...
